"Avery, how are you?""Good. Why are you here all of a sudden?" Avery asked. "We are close, and soon, we will find Elliot.""You've done well. I came because you are certain that Elliot is here. Besides, Natalie could be hiding here as well. I feel disgusted whenever I think of what she's done." Ben scowled. "She signed a contract with Elliot, so I can wait. Once Elliot walks free, he will deal with her!"Avery nodded. "When did you arrive?""I arrived at two in the morning and went to the hotel to rest for a bit. I figured you would be awake around this time and came over." Ben looked her up and down. "I heard that you were injured. Are you okay?""Much better now. I'm fine." Avery glanced at the kitchen.The nanny was waiting inside and noticed Avery's gaze. "Breakfast is ready."Avery turned to look at Ben. "Have you eaten?""I did at the hotel, but I can eat more." Ben walked with her to the dining room. "Is Hayden at school? Mike's still sleeping, huh?""Probably. Mike ha

"I saw this person in a lot of Dean's photos on the internet," Hayden said. "Which means that he must know a lot of Dean's secrets. I found him and offered him money in exchange for the confession.""That must have cost a fortune, right? Dean is a formidable force in Bridgedale and his former bodyguard wouldn't be moved to betray him in exchange for a small payment. Once this video gets out, Dean will hunt him down and kill him."Mike had guessed correctly."I helped his family escape and paid him a fortune that would allow his family to live like kings and queens overseas," Hayden said."Big H, you've gone radio silent for the past few days and this is what you've been doing? You are the man! You are brilliant!" Mike was impressed."I'm not going to forgive him for what he did to my mom." He shut his laptop and asked, "Where's my mom? Why aren't you with her today?""Ben is here and he's with your mom today." Mike sat down on a chair beside Hayden. "I wonder if they could get so

Dean narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the video."I've worked beside Dean Jennings for fifteen years. I quit my job two years ago and returned home due to a severe injury. For the past year or so, I've been tormented, and every time I close my eyes, I'm haunted by countless spirits that died in vain because of him... Throughout the fifteen years, I've worked for him, I've killed a total of eighteen people, including his lovers and children. Of course, those children aren't really his children. Dean Jennings tells the world that they were his children to cover up the fact that he had long lost the ability to make children!""Baam!"Dean threw Sebastian's phone onto the ground, but the video was still playing."Eighteen lives, gone, simply because he wanted them gone. He had more bodyguards under his command killed… Even Dean Jennings himself must have lost track on how many women and children died because of him.""B*st*rd! Shut up! Shut up!" Dean barked and stomped ferocio

"I've never heard of that before," Mike said. "If something like that exists, Angela is playing God! No one would die anymore! If she's really that skilled, she could have just used any corpse. She didn't have to steal Elliot all the way from Ylore just to bring him back to life!"Ben nodded and turned to face Avery. "Avery, we don't know the first thing about biology, but you do. Do you think this is true?"She took a deep breath and shook her head. "I don't know. This goes beyond my knowledge. I don't know anything about what Angela is capable of, so it could be true or fake.""You didn't ask that professor?" Ben asked. "He must have gone through her research data... Marshall’s Award is not just some random award...""Professor Greens said he hasn't gone through her research data yet because there is too much data." She lowered her gaze. "So Elliot is still alive, then?" Ben asked. "I can't eat until I know this.""Go back to your hotel if you can't eat! Don't stop us from eat

Avery wanted to say something, but she was not sure what the appropriate words were. No matter how much Sebastian hated Dean, Dean would always be his father; and Avery did not intend to let Dean go no matter what.She sighed after the call, but before she could completely regain her composure, Dean called."Avery, are you toying with me?" he growled. "You know that we have Elliot Foster and still... Aren't you afraid that I will kill him?"Avery felt nothing despite hearing his threats. "Elliot will be fine… at least until Angela gets the Marshall's Award.""You—""And I will get Elliot out before she gets the award. You, on the other hand, just wait for your karma!" she said, before hanging up.Professor Greens found a CD in the documents Angela had mailed to the committee. He placed the CD into the computer and Angela's face instantly popped up on the screen.She started with a self-introduction, before beginning to introduce her experiment.Professor stared at the screen un
